December 22nd

The day after surgery. Ben went back to work. Mallory is sore and scared and sad we aren't going to Texas. Mark knows something is going on and keeps "checking" on all of us. Nonnie and Pape are headed this way on a 10pm flight. I am still riding the adrenaline wave of fear and holiday madness. I'm so very thankful for all we are blessed with-friends, family, health, medical care, our home.
